Thanks for the video and info! I would like to address one issue I fell is flawed with this method and I am hoping to have a dialogue to figure out how to resolve the issue.Let's say I want to do a Batman logo inlay. With this method you describe the outside cut for the piece to be inlayed would have sharp points while the pocket would have rounded cuts where the points would be due to the diameter of the cutter, say 1/8".

But if I can avoid spending the $150US or in my case $240CDN I would jump at it!!Thoughts?Thanks

Thanks!!

Jord: Could you tell us what woods exactly you used?? I make hundreds of these boards in my business and I have to date only used hardwoods. It looks like you used some softwoods and I wonder how they stand up?? Thanks for the video!
